Outpatient puerperium
As puerperium count the first eight weeks after birth. This phase usually involves physical, social as well as emotional changes.
I would be happy to accompany and support you and your family in this new situation during those eight weeks.
The costs for puerperal care are covered as follows:
80% are paid by your basic health insurance and 10% by your residential community, so that you are left with a maximum of 7.65 Sfr. per day.
This is the new care funding (01.01.2020) of the canton Zurich.
